Determine the level of congestion (being also referred to as " LOC ") (step 305) of communication network 200 at this.It will be appreciated that the whole bag of tricks can be used to determine level of congestion, so the present invention is not limited to any ad hoc approach that is used to realize above function.To further describe the exemplary process of calculating level of congestion in conjunction with Fig. 4 hereinafter.
Determine cost of serving (being also referred to as " COS ") (step 310) according to the level of congestion of communication network 210 at this.
Level of congestion and/or cost of serving are notified to all-network equipment 230 (step 315) in the communication system 200.It will be appreciated that step 310 can comprise upgrades previous level of congestion and/or previous cost of serving.Need be understood that further that the whole bag of tricks can be used to level of congestion and/or cost of serving are notified to user's equipment, therefore, the present invention is not limited to any ad hoc approach that is used to realize above function.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, broadcast channel is used to level of congestion and/or cost of serving are notified to network equipment 230a-c.For example, the third generation (3G) cellular standards cdma2000 and WCDMA have " the common signaling passage " that is used for information broadcast is given all devices of communication system.In the WCDMA standard, the channel that is called broadcast channel (BCH) is used for giving all devices with system information broadcast.For WCDMA equipment, using the BCH channel will be the method for optimizing that level of congestion and/or cost of serving information is sent to network equipment 230a-c in communication system 200.
Then level of congestion and/or cost of serving are offered user's (step 317).For example, can on display, level of congestion and/or cost of serving be shown to the user, perhaps level of congestion and/or cost of serving be offered the user in the mode of can hearing.Current cellular phone (and much the network equipment of other type) has the signal strength indicator by a plurality of stacking bars (stacking bar) expression, shows that wherein many more bars represent that signal is strong more.The display of similar type level of congestion and/or cost of serving can be notified to the user (although since above both be proportional, and only need represent one of them).
Receive the selection (step 320) of the content that will download to his or she network equipment from the user of arbitrary network equipment 230a-c.The example of these contents comprises device drives refresh routine of electronic mail, stock quotation, sports scores, film, audio file, data, software program and mobile device itself or the like.It will be appreciated that also can download other various types of contents, therefore, the present invention is not limited to any certain content.
Receive another selection (step 325) of the cost of serving threshold value (being also referred to as " COS " threshold value) that is used to download at this from the user.Step 325 can optionally may further comprise the steps: receive first user input (step 325a), receive second user input (step 325b), and/or receive the 3rd user input (step 325c).
First user is input as the time cycle that will be arranged on the timer.If do not finish download when time period expires, then the network equipment will be finished download and not consider (current) cost of serving.This feature will allow the user that an event horizon is set, with define this boundary be before network begins to download content a period of time how long (for example, if user's cost of serving threshold value is too low, then cost of serving is actual will be before dropping to that level through very long a period of time).
Second user is input as and a kind ofly can not finishes under the Set For Current of cost of serving threshold value at the network equipment that it allows to increase gradually the permission of cost of serving threshold value when downloading on increment.Described increment can be preassigned or can be appointed as the part of second user input by the user.Therefore, if the network equipment can not be finished download under the Set For Current of cost of serving threshold value, can little by little increase the cost of serving threshold value along with the time at user's the network equipment.When the user was provided with a low excessively threshold value, this can prevent to download the overspending time once more.
The 3rd user is input as a kind of random time amount of beginning and allows the permission that begins to download in the past when being lower than reservation service cost threshold value from cost of serving.Therefore, in the time of under cost of serving drops to threshold value, the network equipment is not the data download that will begin in a minute.On the contrary, net for catching fish or birds equipment will be waited for the random time amount, and if cost of serving still be lower than threshold value, the network equipment just begins to download so.This " waiting upon at random " handled and can be prevented when cost of serving changes owing to large number quipments begins to download the unexpected increase that causes in the network congestion simultaneously.
It will be appreciated that, after step 325, when equipment is handled everything automatically and is engaged in, interfere and finish download without any need for other user.
The automatic monitor service cost of user's the network equipment, and compare cost of serving and user-selected cost of serving threshold value (step 330).Network is preferably only carried out compare operation when cost of serving changes.When cost of serving was lower than threshold value, the network equipment can optionally be notified the user (step 332), thereby the user can call or be engaged in other activity when cost of serving is low.Can be audibly and/or visually notify the user.If the current service cost is lower than threshold value, and do not receive first, second or the 3rd user input, then the network equipment is downloaded content (step 335) automatically.Step 335 can may further comprise the steps: stop download process if cost of serving rises on the threshold value, then recover download process under the threshold value when cost of serving drops to.
If cost of serving is lower than threshold value and has received first user input, then the network equipment is beginning to download content (step 340) when carrying out timing corresponding to the time cycle of first user input.Step 340 can may further comprise the steps: stop download process if cost of serving rises on the threshold value, then recover download process under the threshold value when cost of serving drops to, and recover/proceed download process and do not consider cost of serving at time cycle past tense corresponding to first user input.
If cost of serving is higher than threshold value and has received second user input, then the network equipment increases threshold value gradually till cost of serving is less than threshold value, and downloads content (step 345) at this moment with (user specified or preassigned) increment.
If cost of serving is higher than threshold value and has received the 3rd user input, then download content after the period expires at any time, when wherein the random time cycle is under originally the current service cost drops to the cost of serving threshold value (, when download process begins) and beginning (step 350).
When finishing download, equipment can be notified user's (step 335).Can be audibly and/or described notice visually is provided.
Fig. 4 is the flow chart of method of multiple definite network congestion of graphic extension various illustrative examples according to the present invention.That is, Fig. 4 further illustrates the whole bag of tricks of the step 305 that can be used for Fig. 3.
If communication system 200 is based on time division multiple access (TDMA), the time is divided into time slot so, and distributes to the time slot of each user's one-period, and the user can be transmitted during described periodic time slot.Can be by the data of employed time slot be measured congested (step 410) in such system divided by the number of the total time slot in the system.
In code division multiple access (CDMA) system (being used for cellular application and others), distribute to unique extended code of each user, and use a limited number of coding only.Can be by the number of employed coding be measured congested (step 420) divided by the number of total coding in the system.
In frequency division multiple access (FDMA) system, give different users to communicate different Frequency Distribution.Can be by the number of employed frequency be measured congested (step 430) in this system divided by the sum of system's medium frequency.
In packet-based system, network controller (for example, the base station in the cellular network) has the formation that is used to store the input grouping.If congested the beginning increases, the data of the grouping in the formation also will increase, because the speed that they enter is faster than the speed of handling them.Can be by the number of the grouping in the formation be measured congested (step 440) in this system divided by total size of described formation.
The above-mentioned method that is used for definite network congestion is the example of being enumerated, and can use other method when keeping the spirit and scope of the present invention.That is, the present invention does not also rely on any ad hoc approach that is used for determining network congestion, or any congested ad hoc approach of setting price Network Based (supposing that cost of serving will increase along with the increase of network congestion).
One in a plurality of advantage of the present invention just is: if the user does not need information at once, the user is download message more at an easy rate then.For example, perhaps the user wants to download certain software program, film or audio files on the his or her network equipment, but the user does not think to obtain it, but wants to obtain it in ensuing several days at once.The user imports request and sets the threshold to lower cost of serving so.At network usage lower night, cost of serving may descend very lowly, and equipment can be at this moment data download automatically.The user wakes up and will find content to be downloaded on his or she the zone network equipment morning.And the network equipment can also show current cost of serving (perhaps a series of bar that is similar to presently used power strength indicators).If the user wants to check what he or she can be by checking these current service costs of understanding service.
Although described exemplary embodiment with reference to accompanying drawing at this, it will be appreciated that: the present invention is not limited to these definite embodiment, under the situation that does not deviate from scope and spirit of the present invention, can carry out various other change and modifications therein.All such changes and modifications all are included within the defined scope of the present invention of appended claims.
